I left the Scottish Lowlands this morning and flew to Berlin to see the man. And let me tell you people that it sure was great! Lots of people were there, lots of different nationalities. There were many Germans and many Americans of course, but people had come from all over Europe to see Obama. I met Spaniards, Italians, Romanians, French, Czechs and British all very enthusiastic about Obama and the future he represents for all of us. I got lots of things to say about what I thought of the speech and about the reactions it inspired in the people around me, but I'll leave that for a more substantial diary that I will try to get together shortly. I'm completely shattered now so I just wanted to share some of the pictures I took with you. Hope you enjoy them!
Obama’08 flies high...
Arriving at the Brandenburg Gate, a message for Obama:
Obama for Chancellor? Fine by me...
Heading towards the security check point...
The troops march!
Finally past the security controls! I got a few bottles of water, but the guard thought I looked like nice guy, so he let them through...
We're getting impatient, Barack...
Who's watching who?
And here comes the man himself!
After just half an hour, the speech is over!
It's time to go home...
But before that I’ll leave you with the sunset from the roof of the Reichstag, good evening to all!
